    Default RGB Pico Crumble Resistor Questions

    Hi All!,

    I just ordered enough parts to build all my groomsmen their first saber! I decided to go with the Pico Crumble because of its RGB features and me not knowing what color they all would prefer as their entry into sabercrafting

    Based on my calculations (which if anyone could double check I would appreciate it), these are the resistances I would "need" to do per die.

    R - 1.11
    G - .12
    B - .29

    I will be using this as the resistor on the 16MM Momentary Activation Switch LED:

    I am trying to figure out how to approach the resistors on the RED LED Die in specific, while using:

    I know technically it only needs about 1.1 ohms of resistance, but I know when trying to create purple while using the NBv3 I ended up having to up the resistance significantly to not end up with red/pink while using a RBW trie cree xp-e2 LED.

    What have you guys used for resistance on the RED LED to successfully end up being able to do color mixing with the pico crumble ??

    The pico does the basic colour mixing with parameters in the config files. You just need to use the resistance you calculated for each die

    Hey,

    One more follow up question so just to double check:

    for the Green and blue LEDs, the following .47ohm .5w resistor should work:

    For the Red LED, the following 1.2ohm 3w resistor should work:

    And if I wanted to avoid the variable resistor for the activation switch(mainly because its huge), the following 82ohm 1/4w resistor should work:

    I know for certain the 82ohm is good for the switch as I use them my self. The others seem right to me but my math isnt always the best.

    Yeah, they're all good.
